New York Magazine Names The 50 Most Beautiful New Yorkers
In a shocking twist that should take exactly nobody by surprise, 4 of New
York Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful New Yorkers are staffers at Union Square's Coffee
Shop. Every NYC resident knows (as does any college kid who ever shacked up
at NYU Dorms for the summer) that the Coffee Shop waitresses are hotties,
although the wait staff lost a bit of its street cred when the coat-check
girl/waitress Naima 
went commercial and won America's Next Top Model this
spring. The magazine's four beauties were nominated by Coffee Shop owner Carolyn
Benitez, because "she was once a model herself and knows what it's like to have
to make money to put your book together," so the whole thing reeks a bit of
self-promotion. But bitterness aside, there is now official confirmation that
Coffee Shop is a haven to all the aspiring pretty people in New York City. Well,
them, and that buddha-looking waiter with only a small tuft of hair.
Check out these beauties, plus 46 others.
